I have never seen a bearded hen before? Of course, i am new to turkeys. Is this just a freak accident or is this common?
Very cute picture also!

I bet a few of those birds would be yummy on Thanksgiving! It's been a dream of mine to raise my own Thanksgiving turkey.

About 1 out of every 100 hens will have a trace of beard. I have 5 breeding age hens, & 2 of them have beards. Here's my girl strutting. She now, at 8 y.o. sports a 4" beard. We thought it was a tom for the 1st year,.... till eggs came.
